Workouts after shouder surgery?

Hey guys im new to the website and i need some help. I went under the knife for a major labrum surgery requiring multiple anchors in my right shoulder. Im a baseball player and i need to quickly get my upper body strength back asap but also safely. Does anybody have any ideas of a program that would progressively work my way back into things before i start tearing up my shoulder during military press. Let me know guys id highly appreciate the feedback!

Work your way up little by little brother. I destroyed my Acromioclavicular joint (AC Joint) and it's been years that I have to live with it. I went to physical therapy and he basically gave my a Thera Band (Exercise Band) and had me warm up my rotator Cuff with this and also instructed me to do delt raises with light weight (3-5lbs dumbbell) while lying face down on an incline bench. Really helps alot! Just make sure to warm up every time. Avoid over head presses and if any exercise starts to bother you, then stop right there and then. Make sure you follow your doc's advice and hope you heal well brother.

I appreciate it ill keep doing the PT and just continue doing leg press And extension until I'm cleared for upper body my right arm is like a twig now and my left arm is a little smaller than normal but it's funny looking haha. I appreciate it still looking for more advice if anyone wants to contribute!

I don't do presses behind the head anymore cause of my shoulder surgery and on the rare occasion (10x a year ) that I do, it's usually very light

After my surgery I followed the doc instructions on band work and did the physical therapy

I felt that I should have stretched my lat a little more because my ROM still isn't where it used to be

Throw a rope over a pull up bar , sit in a chair, grab each end with each hand, slowly pull with the "good hand" to stretch the other and when your strong enough, use the "bad" hand to pull down with a little resistance from the "good" hand

The aforementioned bench work (side raises and rotator cuff strengthening) are great ideas

Stand in a doorway and press against the wall with the back of your hand and then with your palm (keep the elbow tight at a 90 angle against your body)

I found that the pressing (chest and shoulder presses) took a while to come back to full strength but the lateral and front raise came back quickly

Start light with slow and controlled reps
It's a good time to retrain your "mind muscle connection" and practice good form so when you start lifting heavier you will be less prone to injury

Almost forgot!

Think there's research that shows taking creatine while immobilized prevented muscle wasting (not sure if you are still using a sling)

Awesome I got out of my sling officially today! Thanks for the pulley stretches. Do you think creating would be a waste in just preserving the little muscle I could get back in a short amount of time in the gym... Anyways I appreciate it!!

For the price of creatine mono at 5g a day I would do it!
Hit those bands and remember to focus on form, you can do a lot for yourself these next few weeks and set up a solid cns for future lifts or you can go to fast and be overconfident and set yourself up for further injury (which I might have done personally!)
Felt that the recovery actually came faster than expected so I did more than expected, but being over zealous could set you back!

Take it easy on the press movements and work on rotator cuff and stability muscles to keep that shoulder in place now that everything is loose from the dislocations/cause of surgery

I just had slap tear surgery a week and a half ago, got a long road ahead! I would advise you (as I have advised myself lol) to take it slow. Youll get back to where you were in time, if you push it too much you could injure yourself again and take even longer to get back. Also I already am sick of the sling and i have a month left, FML

I've had 2 slap tears, and just cancelled my 3rd because of a meet. they take longer to heal than rc tears. You won't need the sling for another month. I ditched mine and was just careful after 2 weeks. You should be spending time out of the sling already doing circles...
